Former MN Gov. Ventura wants to add widow to suit against Navy SEAL Chris Kyle

If he was a SEAL what was this BUD/S Class number? Unless he DOR'ed on his first day someone will remember him .. and if he did DOR on the first day ... he was never a SEAL anyways.

"Ventura served in the United States Navy from December 1, 1969, to September 10, 1975, during the Vietnam War era. He graduated in BUD/S class 58 in December 1970^[12] and was part of Underwater Demolition Team 12^[4][13]"

Technically yes, technically no. Back then UDT had not yet merged with the SEALs and usually saw less combat and took fewer casualties. Before 1983 (when UDT and SEALs both became one) UDT was not the same as the SEALs and did not wear the SEAL Trident. Further, Ventura never served in Vietnam, no combat, no deployment. He doesn't rate by comparison to Kyle.

No, absolutely not. He was stationed in the Philippines, I believe. What makes it even more disgusting is his pseudo-Hemingway quote about "you haven't hunted until you've hunted man" when he never did anything of the sort.
